Bower
The Bower Company began operations in 1904, R. F. Bower patented a new product - a roller bearing that controlled drag. Bower's new bearing proved extremely effective in controlling the problem of wheel loss in horse-drawn carriages when turning at high speed. The product was a great success, and as a result, the Bower Roller Bearing Company was founded in 1907. Since then, the company has designed and manufactured roller bearings and tapered roller bearings, expanding rapidly, and joining forces with other companies in the market to expand its range and supply. In 1955, Bower Roller Bearing Company merged with Federal-Mogul Corporation. In 1985, Federal-Mogul Corporation entered into an agreement with NTN-Toyo Bearing Company, Ltd. This agreement, signed by both companies on December 11, resulted in the formation of NTN-Bower Corporation. For 100 years, NTN-Bower roller bearings have been recognized as the highest quality products in terms of precision and performance. During this period, new bearing designs, improved manufacturing techniques, and new materials were introduced to improve the products. Important developments in cylindrical and tapered roller bearings include:
- Spherical roller housings for tapered roller bearings
- Cylindrical and tapered rollers
- Cold-formed tapered roller bearing rings
- One-piece steel cages
- Two-piece ultrasonically bonded Fibron cages for cylindrical roller bearings
- Hot-forged powder metal bearing components
- Hot-pressed silicon nitride cylindrical roller bearings
